Pissing off my... F is for Future Self #AtoZChallenge

My favorite blog is still thisisnotthatblog.com (sorry other bloggers, I love you too). She posted one awhile back entitled past self and future self with a plea to her past self to stop being such a dick... (yes, you should go look - it's a cartoon. Yes, I'll wait).

I think of that post often, because it portrays exactly what I do to myself all the time. I make a habit of pissing off my future self. 

For example, in the mornings I am frustrated with my past self for not sticking to my diet, or not exercising, or not being all around awesome. So I set off determined that today I will stick to my diet, exercise, be nice to everyone... that whole all around awesome thing...

Rinse, repeat. 

Yes, yes, I know every day is a new day. But I already know that Future Self is not going to be pleased with me come morning... 

Sometimes I even think about how irritated Future Self is going to be, but Present Self typically isn't swayed.

*sigh*

Egg Update: It's not easy being an Easter egg...

Today's Photo Prompt: Plate - this was my mother's

E is for Extremely Average (@ExtremelyAvg) #AtoZChallenge

I have a friend named Brian, and he's extremely average... well, at least that's what he calls himself on Twitter (@ExtremelyAvg) and that's what his blog is called (extremelyaverage.com). However, I assure that there's nothing average about him. He is extremely though, an extremely good writer, an extremely dedicated writer. He has written every single day for the past several years. Years!

I don't know about you, but I've been having problems writing for the past several nights!

Brian has already published one novel, Henry Wood, Detective Agency, and he's about to publish the sequel - three weeks from today. I really enjoyed the first Henry Wood story and its unexpected plot twists, and am looking forward to it's sequel! I encourage you to check Henry Wood out - right now it's on sale for only $2.99!

You will also enjoy his current writing endeavor, Killing Hemingway, which he is currently writing and posting on his blog. I can almost guarantee you will immediately be entranced with the young hero of his latest endeavor. I know I was.

Extremely average? Not even close. To boot, he's one of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever had to pleasure to "meet" on the interwebs. :)

A quick note about my product endorsements - since I have been doing so many lately. I have occasionally been offered free products in the hopes that I would writing glowing reviews about them. I basically hated all of them... yep, if you give me something to review, there's a good chance I won't like it. Just my luck.

So, if you see me reviewing something - like a book or an appliance or a service - I guarantee you that I not only loved it, but am getting nothing out of promoting it other than the pleasure of spreading the word about how great it is. :)

Today's photo prompt... Egg

I don't think they've figured out yet that tomorrow they'll be starring in some egg salad...

Life as an Easter Egg

It's not easy being an Easter Egg. Sure, you're given a nice hot bath, dressed up all pretty and admired for a day or two... but in the end you're just tomorrow's egg salad sammich...

U is for... UNPREDICTABLE! OH YEAH!

Warning: This post contains graphic images of unimaginable monster egg horror...

Why am I on this plate with a BLT?

Why is that lady looking at me like that?

As you can see, they cracked under the pressure...

Happy Easter!

Our Easter Eggs. The ones in the back row look scared, maybe they'd heard about my plans for egg salad sammiches. Hehehe... :)

Happy Easter!
